He’s really reliable and uses double checked sources apparently
Actually, "as they arise" - 8 hours. Not optimal to be having fluid situations develop while you're asleep.
Levy's starboi strikes again.
There’s been a widely reported penalty clause preventing Sonny being sold before the tour which would imply there are high profile sponsors present.
From personal business experience in the Far East, they expect the head honchos to be present in person. That’s why I’d suggest the leadership team are there.
You want big money spending on transfers, well you have to meet the business requirements in order to secure that funding.
We’ve no idea what other discussions are going on with agents while they’re with the tour, so why the faux outrage?! I very much doubt they’re not taking calls and answering emails in order to enjoy a jolly!
Maybe they’re like Maggie Thatcher and only take 4 hours!
I meant discuss with the manager in real time.
Would be good to know what Lange is doing out there, what’s his exact function out in Hong Kong - why can he talk to prospective players digitally but has to speak to Frank/Levy face to face.
If it’s another summer where no signings happen whilst we’re on tour then the question is only going to get louder if he fucks off again next summer

He ain't got a scoobie.

He’s broke a lot of things first, before other itk/journo’s
I’ve not seen him “chatting shit” about anything
It really is....this the £300m investment we've been waiting for
Who the fuck is he ....never heard of him ..
I don't get these twitter "fans" who shit on the club.
Woolwich and United could so easily turn it around and list all the actual signings that have been made and new players joining us, even if our own fans want to filter it out and add "but... but..." to the them
Think that's probably just the club wording it that way so as to not give much away. Imagine all 3 are somewhat advanced in talks already. Maybe even perm for Devine/Dane.
That's them sorting out their own shit then isn't it? Agents don't work for us, they sooner get Moore et al a new club than worry about it's impact on Tottenham Hotspur.
We should be looking at team data to find them the best environment where they'd not only get the minutes, but also in the positions that we want them to play (though we fucked that up somewhat with Gray), and in the style or formation that we envisage playing. Would an agent know that? Sure they can meet with the club to discus afterward and then be told no, that won't do.
We've had too many loans where our punts have not gotten game time and have not developed further as a result, which has impacted on our club trained numbers. But, we're getting away from the point that the people in charge of transfers should be working on transfers, especially during the transfer window, rather than going on tour. There's no sponsor window so there's enough time to work on attracting sponsors outside of the transfer window.
And, it's easier to grow your sponsor base if you grow your fan base, just ask manure; and you grow your fan base by playing exciting football and winning stuff.
I can see no logical reason for them being there. Maybe there is a valid reason, but I just don't see it
Reluctantly agree (because I don't like the cunt), but his approach is different from most journalists and he only writes about transfers when things are very concrete or (almost) done. Which makes him one of the most reliable sources.
He is certainly not one of those "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" cunts.
